My Girlfriend is 33 weeks and is complaining about her ankles swelling and is asking what to do ?

its normal. especially if she has been standing/walking alot today. tell her to lay down and elevate her feet. tell her not to cut sodium out of her diet completely but dont indulge in salted pretzel rods either cause too much could cause more swelling. make her feel as comfortable as possible! :) &amp; congratulations

super normal I get it all the time now it goes down in the morning but at night I have stumps, I have a foot spa that I soak then in cold water, makes them feel better but doesn't do much for the swelling, she can mention to her doc at her next appt
